Compositions by Larry Ochs, Wadada Leo Smith
"Ignore the passing of time as a measure of anything real. Twenty-five years and counting is a milestone, but really only means they've had more opportunities and experiences -- commissions, recordings, performances, musical and personal challenges -- all of which affect the growth patterns, the infrastructural dynamics, the attitude and identity of the ensemble as ensemble. Rova's music exists within this 'continuous present'-- any other interpretation would arbitrarily lessen their previous, valuable accomplishments. And the catalogue they have composed is large, singular, significant. This newest chapter is the equal of any, an affirmation of continuity, of what poet Robin Blaser called the commotion of belief. Beginning again and again." --Art Lange.
